Animation and time travel to update the 90s 🕰️

The production maintains the classic visual style of the original 1992 series, but with modern digital animation techniques that allow for smoother movements and detailed backgrounds. The writers have woven a time-travel narrative that justifies the return to the 90s aesthetic, with chronological jumps affecting both characters and storylines. Each episode is designed to connect with previous mythology without relying on it.

The mutants return, but the apocalypse can wait its turn 😅

Finally, something that isn't a remake of something that was already a remake. The mutants return just when the real world also seems to be in its worst timeline. Nine episodes to watch intolerance grow while we can barely handle the supermarket queue. At least they travel through time; we just travel to the couch.
